Amateur Watchmaking - A NEW BOOK

The purpose of the book is to help you to the skill
level where you can start to disassemble and re-assemble
a watch movement by understanding the different
parts, their names, and functionality.

The book will also guide you in the process of choosing
the right tools and help you over the main obstacles when
working with one of the world’s smallest and most
sophisticated machines, including cleaning and oiling.

After having read the book you will not be a professional
watchmaker but you might be in the process of becoming
one, or you might have found – as myself – a very
deep satisfaction being an amateur watchmaker.
